Intro
Em Em Em D x2
[Verse 1]
Em
All the pictures on the wall
D
The sand lying on the floor
Em
The bed upstairs, still unmade
Em
The dust float in the light
D
The people just left
C#m
All laughter and mess
Bm
Forgetting this and that
Am G D
And rushing back
[Verse 2]
Em
The front door open
Em Em
The music still playing in one room
Em
Down the hall
D Em
And towels on the floor
Em
And then it's quiet
Em
Just the bees and birds
D
The summer haze
C Bm
Of the trees, and the air
Am G D
Feeds it all, feeds it all
[Chorus]
Em
We can all feel it
D C
Like a light hand on your back
Bm
Welcoming you
Em
We can all feel it
D C
Like a light hand on your back
Bm
Welcoming you
Am G D
The day before we went to war
D
The day before we went to war
D Em
We can all feel it
[Verse 3]
Em
All the parasols and kids at play
D
The sea so still and calm
Em
Blue as the cloudless sky
D
Just the gentle hum
Em
Of the summer's goings on
Em
Broken by the sudden rush
Em
Of two planes
D
Flying low and fast
C Bm
Into the sun, into the sun
[Chorus]
Em
We can all feel it
D C
Like a light hand on your back
Bm
Welcoming you
Em
We can all feel it
D C
Like a light hand on your back
Bm
Welcoming you
Am G D
The day before we went to war
D
The day before we went to war
D Em
We can all feel it
